.store manages and controls automated and manual warehouse systems. In this module, the Westfalia logistics software stores the logistic strategies for storage and retrieval of whatever load the client is using (pallets, totes, containers, trays, rolls, etc.). The overriding logistics software sends orders to .store. This module processes the orders autonomously and prompts the necessary material movements within the internal supply chain.
.store functions like a "blackbox". It manages ERP system storage and retrieval between the entire warehouse system.
Using customary interfaces, the ERP system can use .store to handle material retrievals without detailed information on storage locations, minimum best-before dates and other decision relevant criteria.
Flexible management (grid technology) provides an overview of the material in stock at all times. Authorized persons can retrieve and change warehouse data and material flow startegies. .store configures the entire warehouse. Data management takes into account the product master requirements of the warehouse. In addition, .store can block and release warehouse aisles.
